In important change I'm seeing in D&D is that there's a lot more emphasis on homes and headquarters than there used to be.
I assume this is because Home Ownership is the ultimate in Fantasy Gaming these days.

I was making less than 1/5 of what I make in 2022 in 2021 and spent most of the year on EI
Now that I make more, I find out there's a maximum EI payment and the wealthy don't pay into EI (meaningfully) in Ontario, and I have been enraged
I could have been struggling way less!

Experimenting with a system:
I am currently *super* happy at my job - so trying to actively recommend someone I know is currently under/un employed when I recruiter reaches out to me directly.
Not sure if it's gonna work - but I hope.

I mean, you're making the recruiter's job easier by bringing potential candidates that are likely to be better vetted than what they could do from LinkedIn only.

So my dad is probably going to be homeless soon. He's very paranoid (in the clinical sense) and won't let us help him and is afraid I'm going to kidnap him if I ever drive even somewhat close to city edges of the place he lives. He won't even tell us what's going on, I found out thru other means
I don’t even know what to do. I'm so scared I'm going to wake up one day and he'll have disappeared into oblivion and I'll have no way to find him, because it's already a challenge to find him
The only other people who care are just as powerless as me & Sean: my sister and his brother
My grandmother spent actual years fueling his paranoia about all of us and this is where it's led and it's hard not to be upset about it, even though she's gone now
I just don’t even know what to do

Yeah, that makes sense, although she was as much affected as he was. I think I'll need to spend some time working thru my feelings around it. I'm one of those, find solace in myself in forgiveness in others types

I should say, I know it's not like that for everyone, but forgiveness does work for me.
I'd never push other people it. I understand other people's journeys are their own. I'm not going to preach it. It works differently and some people do some pretty awful things that don't warrent that kind of response.
I'm not about to forgive the various organizations and people that took advantage of my grandmother in her later years, for example.. but I might need to forgive her for my own peace. I might not, we'll see. I'm still working thru it

Now you can mute my twitter again! And we can pretend I don't keep using the twitter interface due to having too many DMs
Partially because DMs are one of the worst things - and I really should setup MOVIM and force my friends to use XMPP

Started Strattera (nonstimulant adhd med) a few weeks ago and finally starting to process the world around me is an interesting thing. I never knew what it was like to not have my thoughts all like a jumbled mess before and today I'm starting to actually be able to think about situations from a perspective that isn't immediate and I gotta say... it feels very unusual but quite nice and the more I get used to it the more I like being able to think clearly.
I've been anxious to talk about it because I don’t have the formal dx and so I still feel unsure claiming it as my space too, but the medication is certainly not doing nothing

My son talks about the cakes @FireflyLeigh and I made him for his 2nd and 3rd birthdays a lot
And the fact that he's talked about a cake for over a year *at three years old* makes my heart burst with joy that we can make him happy like that

Well, right now- at this moment, one is all that I need to do what I am doing - but I currently have 6 in my server, and 1 about to go in, and need another to put that in, and then I have slots for up to 8 more, and if I put a second server into commission, then I could use 16 more, so I could use up to 25 more, and 25 more for cheap is a reasonable thing to bid on

By default LibreWolf bans autoplaying media - and that's great
But it means that if I turn on a playlist to listen to, I have to hit play again after every song, or disable it - and I don't know how to manage the middle ground!

Okay, it's been about a week since I made some intense connections between some of my past traumas and while I don’t feel like all my weird stressors around everything that changed are gone, I feel like that sense of connection and contentment within myself for myself has returned, so that's extremely encouraging.
It was an incredibly rough month beforehand, so I'm extremely grateful to be internally more peaceful and not so turbulent
One thing I feel like I know know about trauma recovery is that it really gets to the worst point right before it turns around

Let's never find out what went wrong! that seems really hard!
to be fair - a little bit back my DB and backup crapped themselves and so I had to stitch the DB back together by hand - so it probably was caused by that

An RPG called Going Broke Together where you put 100 golden d6s in a bowl. Whenever there's a problem roll some and throw them in a dirty pail. Any die that comes up a 6 makes one good thing happen.

This morning I had my hair pulled for some undetermined number of hours while I tried to sleep
Then I woke up to start the day by taking both kids to their vaccine appointments
Now they're both feeling it and I'm exhausted so countdown to having another adult help commences
Problem is, while I was having every hair yanked out of my head, he was having his head repeatedly kicked by a tiny toddler.... so......
Not sure these vaxes were a great idea for today 😓
